Black Friday

Shortcake did not have to work Black Friday this year, so she slept in to the late 'o'clock time of 8:00 a.m.  The she made chocolate chip and pancakes and french toast for breakfast.  Because: delicious.

The Wise Men have started their journey!

The Wise Men have to journey to the Nativity, so they spend the time from now until January 6th (the Twelfth Day of Christmas: Epiphany for those not in the know) traveling through the apartment to get there.  No, the Wise Men do not show up on Christmas.  They were late to the Nativity.  This metaphorical representation will not be more inaccurate than necessary.

Shortcake & Dorkwad used to fight over who got the move the Wise Men ever day.  Has Shortcake told this story?  Vicious, fights every day.  Shortcake takes traditions and rules very seriously, and Dorkwad was the younger brother, so.  She may have had some influence over what mattered.  Or maybe he was just antagonizing her for the fun of it.  Shortcake's memories are clouded by personal bias.

Today Shortcake went on a walk through a park, opting to go outside, exactly like that REI campaign #optoutside.


Look!  Shortcake found this stone arch bridge with pretty trees.  She wants to put one on the grounds of her castle.


And under the stone arch bridge were these eyes.  It's like something out of Doctor Who.  Or a writing prompt from that Chris Van Allsburg book.  You know the one.  The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.


This is a man Shortcake met.  He's got a portable amp, speaker and looper, and he's playing electric guitar under the archway.  It had a great echo, and he said he'll set up for an afternoon, practicing his music and other musicians will join him in a jam session.  It was awesome.
